15. Omens
Lu Chao's expression didn't change for a moment, "That's it, I know, you can go back." ”
Cheng Xiao looked at him suspiciously, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"Nope. ”
"Lu Chao, do you know what your parents are here for?" Although Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't want to underestimate his emotional intelligence, it was a little strange to see him so calm, calm and not like a teenage student.
"Fighting for custody?" Lu Chao finally snorted coldly, "It's really the first day I know that I am so valued." After saying that, he regretted it a little, and immediately picked up the book and pretended that nothing had happened.
Cheng Xiaoxiao sank the whole person into the sandbag, and then grabbed a dictionary and put it under his chin to support his head, his eyes turned quickly, but he didn't speak.
"It's okay, you can go out. ”
"Lu Chao, how old are you this year?"
"Thirteen. ”
"Oh. Cheng Xiaoxiao asked and there was no follow-up.
This made Lu Chao very curious, and his eyes secretly skimmed to Cheng Xiaoxiao from behind the book, and after being caught by her, he quickly turned back.
Cheng Xiaoxiao has been playing with him for such a month, and finally saw that Lu Chao is a child, a child whose mind matures very early, but no amount of definite words can change the noun that belongs to him, child.
It's just because he has lacked the love and attention of his family since he was a child that he has received all the naughty cuteness into an expressionless shell.
And such a child is the same as Cheng's mother, it is easy to go astray, especially when he has a high IQ and a lot of ideas.
She herself has never raised a child, and she is not the type of teacher, in her previous life, she was like a child, and now she is a little better, but it doesn't mean that she has a way to guide the way to such a child in a gentle manner.
Lu Chao sat on a chair, sitting taller than her, and Cheng Xiaoxiao could only look up at him.
In all fairness, such a good-looking boy will definitely harm his female classmates in the future, but his character is still good, and he will not become a person like Xiao Zhiyuan.
"Lu Chao, do you have any brothers and sisters in City B? ”
Lu Chao didn't answer, but thought about her question in his heart.
He does, although her mother is an only daughter, but his father still has a younger sister, but that sister has been married to Hong Kong Island, and Lu Chao has seen this aunt a few times.
His aunt got married very early - it may also be that Boss Lu and Lu Chao's mother got married late, in short, the aunt's daughter is much older than Lu Chao, and now she is probably about to graduate from college.
Lu Chao only saw this sister a few times during the Chinese New Year, and every time she was dressed in fancy clothes, wearing some strange makeup, and then showing off her experience in that circle of family girls, in short, she looked like a princess wherever she went.
Lu Chao's aunt and his mother have a bad relationship, both of them are pampered and raised, and they have been compared for a long time in the open and in secret, in short, there are all kinds of mismatches, but I didn't expect that the last two people who are not right have actually become a family.
So his aunt's daughter is also because of this, even looking at this younger brother is not very comfortable, and she always speaks in a subtle tone, and Lu Chao is too lazy to take care of people's temper, so he directly ignores her, and finally makes the sister and brother try their best to avoid seeing each other during the New Year.
Seeing that Lu Chao didn't speak, Cheng Xiaoxiao acquiesced that he didn't have it, and indeed she also heard that Lu Chao was an only daughter, and Boss Lu didn't seem to say that there were any brothers and sisters.
"Lu Chao, I don't have any brothers and sisters, I grew up alone, my best friend is Tian Tian, you've also seen it," this opening statement was unexpected, she paused, and sure enough, it caught Lu Chao's attention, "We are both only daughters, and our family is about the same level, of course, it can't be compared with your family, at least it's more than enough, because of this, the two of us have been very poor since childhood, and we don't have any personal skills, and it's difficult to even go out and play the piano with one hand." ”
"I used to say to Tian Tian that what the two of us envied the most was a girl in the junior high school class, a member of the literary and art committee, who was beautiful, could play the pipa, danced the national dance, and spoke English very standardly, the key is that she is always the first in our grade, such a goddess-like person. ”
Later, the two of us knew that her parents divorced very early and started their own families, and she lived in her father's house for a year and her mother's house for a year, afraid that her parents would not want her, so she worked very hard to do everything and did her best, for fear that she would not let her parents have a bright face and think that she was a valuable daughter. ”
Lu Chao sneered, his face full of mockery, "Is it miserable?" ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at him, "Miserable, miserable, miserable, miserable, people are now in the best high school in H City, with the highest scholarship every year, and they have become the goddess we use to brag about when we recruit students in junior high school." ”
This kind of genuine student is much more meaningful than a student like Cheng Xiaoxiao who blends into a prestigious school.
"She never told our class about her family, this is what Tian Tian told me, saying that her parents' later children are not as good as her, and both families want her to live to edify her younger brothers and sisters. ”
"A good life is never given by others, it is all earned by yourself, Lu Chao, you are a smart child, it is useless to say more, I just think that you don't have to care about your parents' affairs at all, what will happen to them in the end, everyone has their own life, not because they don't like you, but because they want to live a better life, even if you are their child, you can't interfere, of course, if you self-exile because of other people's lives," Cheng Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and used a not very gentle word, " I'll look down on you. ”
Lu Chao listened to this big string, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed, "Cheng Xiaoxiao, I found that you really don't have any IQ and no logic, don't you find that your previous examples are inconsistent with your later conclusions? ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao rarely heard Lu Chao say such a long list of words, and he couldn't react for a while, so he really turned around and thought about what he said just now.
"I know, you go out, help me thank my uncle and aunt for your concern. Lu Chao motioned with his eyes that she could go.
Cheng Xiaoxiao said a lot of this, and she didn't know what she said, and she deeply sighed that she really didn't have the talent to enlighten people - she didn't want to tell her the experience of her previous life, and comfort him You are not the worst!
She stood up, bent down and reached out to hug Lu Chao, who was sitting straight in the chair.
Lu Chao's body stiffened suddenly, and he didn't react at all.
Cheng Xiaoxiao put her head on his shoulder, patted him on the back, and said sincerely for the first time: "I found that you are quite cute, so treat me as a sister in the future." ”
Boss Lu and Cheng's father came together, and when Cheng Xiaoxiao took Lu Chao home from school, he saw a car parked at the door that was not theirs.
opened the door, and sure enough, Cheng's father was sitting on the sofa and chatting with a strange man, the man looked older than Cheng's father, but because of his good facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a resolute temperament, people ignored his real age in vain.
Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at it twice, and felt that his face and mouth were exactly the same as Lu Chao, and probably guessed the identity of the other party, put down his schoolbag and walked up to say hello, "Dad!
Boss Lu laughed, "Hello, smile." He patted Cheng's father again, "Your daughter is much cuter than you say, if it weren't for the fact that our stinky boy is too young...... Laugh and laugh. ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao walked up, and was suddenly stuffed with a red envelope in his hand by the boss of the road, "Uncle's meeting gift, obedient." ”
She didn't take it at once, and turned her head to look at her father.
Father Cheng smiled, "Just take what Uncle Lu gave you, what about Lu Chao?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao just entered the door and turned directly into the living room, and Lu Chao probably saw Boss Lu go upstairs directly while they were talking.
Cheng Xiaoxiao turned around twice, didn't see anyone, smiled at the boss of the road, and went upstairs to call someone.
Lu Chao had already entered the room, and when he saw Cheng Xiaoxiao, he sneered self-deprecatingly, and then stood up and went downstairs.
Cheng Xiaoxiao chased after him, hooked his neck, and patted him comfortingly.
As a result, Lu Chao directly threw her arm away.
Boss Lu had already seen the two of them downstairs and shouted, "Son!"
Lu Chao didn't answer, he walked over obediently and walked next to Boss Lu.
Boss Lu looked him up and down, and patted him on the back vigorously, "My son has grown taller!" and turned his head to Cheng Xiaoxiao and smiled apologetically, "I'm causing you trouble, it's hard for him to get it, right?"
Lu Chao lowered his head, didn't answer, and didn't raise his eyes.
Cheng Xiaoxiao thought of his two-faced appearance when he first came, and couldn't help laughing, "No, no, Lu Chao is well-behaved and smart, I've always wanted a younger brother like this." ”
Boss Lu was also very satisfied when he heard her say this, and he liked Lu Chao's happiness very much when he looked at his expression.
Father Cheng gave Cheng Xiaoxiao a look, "Xiaoxiao, you go up and study first, Uncle Lu and Lu Chao will talk." ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Chao, who lowered his head and didn't speak, and nodded, "Then I'll go up first." ”
She listened in the room for a while, but didn't hear any movement downstairs, so she simply stopped paying attention and began to review on her own.
When it was time for dinner, Cheng Xiaoxiao went downstairs and only saw Cheng's father sitting at the table reading the newspaper.
Father Cheng heard the voice, looked up and saw her coming downstairs, put the newspaper away, and beckoned to her, "Good daughter, come here." ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao obediently sat next to him, "What about Boss Lu and Lu Chao?"
